Hi,

sorry for the late reply, but the instruction given to me were not all the clear, I apparently was looking for a solution that wasn’t the one that would work for us.

To sum up the info I have, user authentification will not rely on BBpress authentification, but on our own user table (login and password) called by a simple htaccess file.

AuthUserFile /home/login/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Private"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

So our users will not need to register a new account to get access to BBpress (that is intended to be private only) and they’ll just use their existing account.

We might use cookies to allow easy naviguation between BBpress, WordPress and the login page (that will contain a load of other things)

I haven’t seen any tips on wordpress forum either. Maybe my eyes were not wide open at the time ?

Can it simply be done without rewriting the whole login process ?
